You may choose to report on calls from a particular CLI or from numbers beginning with a particular CLI. For example, for calls from Tri-Line you would enter 02072652600.

Reporting_filter
FilterCLI
Value02072652600

This filter accepts the comparison operators ! and * (e.g. to exclude calls from Tri-Line, you would use !020726526*). To report on more than one CLI, user a comma to separate the entries.

Cost

If you want to add a filter for call costs, type in the cost you wish to define, as shown below. 

Reporting_filter

The body of the report consists of detailed summary information about each extension group (or individual extension if you already selected an extension group during the criteria selection process). A description of each column header is described here, in order from left to right:

HeaderDescription
Site/Extension GroupIf reporting on more than one site, the first screen will by default show site information. If reporting on a single site only, the report will display the extension group by default. You can drill-down to the extension group level, by clicking on the individual site name. If an extension group is missing from this list, then the system did not find any calls made or received by any extension in that group.
MissedThe missed calls column is always displayed as red. It allows you to re-order your call analysis detail based on whichever of the following criteria is most important:
  • SquiggleImage Added: Shows how many unanswered (or abandoned) calls lost by all active extensions in the particular group displayed.
  • Avg duration: Shows the average duration of missed calls for the group displayed alongside.
AnsweredThe answered calls columm is always displayed in green. It allows you to re-order the Call analysis report based on incoming call information. You can re-arrange based on any of the following selection criteria:
  • SquiggleImage Added: Shows the number of incoming calls that were successfully answered by extensions in the group. Transferred calls are included in this total.
  • Total duration: This column shows the total duration of all incoming calls by all extensions in the group.
  • Avg duration: The average duration of all incoming calls for the group.
  • Avg response: The average time taken to respond to calls for the group/extension displayed.
OutboundThe outbound calls column is always displayed in blue. It shows the total number of calls for each half hour, the maximum, average and total duration for calls in that half hour and average and total cost of calls made in that half hour. It also allows you to re-order the Call analysis report based on this outbound call information. You can re-arrange based on any of the following selection criteria:
  • SquiggleImage Added: The number of outbound calls made by the extension group.
  • Total duration: The total aggregate duration of all outgoing calls by all active extensions in the group.
  • Avg duration: Average duration of an outgoing calls by all extensions in the group.
  • Total cost: Total aggregate cost of all outbound calls made by all active extensions in the extension group.

In addition to the summary information, totals and averages of all call types are shown in footer for each column.

Drilling-down

To see the information for each individual extension in a particular group, click on the extension group you're interested in, and a new report will be produced showing the same summary information for each individual extension in the selected group, as shown below:

The output for this is slightly different than the previous summary screens and rather than a summary information, the calls are presented as an itemised list. The table below explains what each column represents:

HeaderDescription
Date & TimeShows the date and time the calls was started.
SourceDetails of where the call originated.
CLIShows the caller line identity of the incoming call.
RouteShows the number that was dialled, in the case of an outgoing or internal call.
DestinationFor outgoing calls, shows the destination of the call; for other calls, shows the type of call, e.g. unanswered, abandoned, internal, feature call.
ResponseThe response field shows the length of time it took before the call was answered i.e. the response time.
DurationShows the duration of the call in hours, minutes and seconds.
CostShows the cost of the call.

<h2>Introduction</h2>

<p>A simple, quick, easy-to-use, fully-clickable report which begins with a complete summary of all site or extension groups'
activity (outgoing, incoming and abandoned calls) and each group's total call costs. Click on any group, and the report
zooms in to show the same summary information for each sub- group. Zoom in further by clicking on a particular
extension, and the report will show you a detailed log of all activity on that extension.</p>

<p>An added bonus of this report is its ability to identify calls on extensions that you mightn't have thought even existed! These are shown separately at the foot
of the extension groups, and can sometimes create a few surprises!</p>
